October 22, 200916 yr So I am looking at two EVGA cards. One is a 512MB with a 771 mhz GPU and the other is a 1GIG with a 702 GPU speed? which is better for fs9? and will I see a difference in visual proformace with a 512MB with a higher GPU speed or a 1GB with a lower GPU speed? thanks

If they are the same cards with just different memory amounts, you can always overclock the 1Gig card. - Red E8500 @ 4.1 | EVGA 275GTX (overclocked) | 2x2GB Mushkin Enhanced Redline @ 1066 | Samsung 24inch LCD @ 1920x1080 |

Cause I was told that focus more on GPU then ram ammount, is that true; because the 512MB is well enough?? what I was told.
October 22, 200916 yr Well, it depends how you run your sim. Unless you're flying with a huge resolution with high AA and AF settings along with very complex scenery and high res clouds, you'll probably see a benefit, maybe not even FPS but smoothness. But besides that, I doubt it. I'm currently running a 512mb 8800GTS and not planning to upgrade till I get a whole new computer. I'd say with 4 gigs of memory and a 512mb card, all you can do from there is push up your CPU clocks.Again, you can always overclock a video card as well, and its fairly easy to increase clocks by 10-20% depending on the card. - Red E8500 @ 4.1 | EVGA 275GTX (overclocked) | 2x2GB Mushkin Enhanced Redline @ 1066 | Samsung 24inch LCD @ 1920x1080 |
